Mucho Nacho is my Jalapeno

Cole_Robbie · July 15, 2014

From now on, I'm not going to grow any other jalapeno variety. Much Nacho F1 just blows everything away. It has big thick-walled peppers with nice heat and flavor. It's also a very strong growing plant with excellent yield. I think it is a variety every jalapeno lover should try.

Mucho Nacho is a very good jalapeno! I think Jalafuego is right up there with it, but it does have thinner walls. I'm growing La Bomba for the first time this year and so far it's pretty impressive too.

Cole_Robbie - if you care to share/trade/sell some of your Mucho Nacho seeds this year, I'd love to try these great jalapenos. The plant sounds very strong, which is what we need in our frequent winds. I use a lot of jalapenos in the jams I make and 'never' have enough!!!

We're growing Gigante this year, but everything is 2-3 weeks late because of the cold in May. If you're interested, I have superhots, hots, milds peppers growing and will gladly send you a list when they're ripe, plus other pepper and tomato seeds.

I'm growing the F1 hybrid, so it wouldn't be worthwhile to save seeds...right? I've never tried it anyway. I'm assuming it wouldn't produce true.

Yeah no need to save seeds. I'm not growing any Jalapenos this year, but really appreciate the reviews. It is an awesome pepper.
I grew a bunch of hots to see what works well here, and a few stand out, but most grow if conditions are met. Harvest is starting for me, the first few becoming ripe. Thanks again, I'll try some mentioned next year. Being near me too, means it should grow wel here too. Very cool!

With F1 you're never sure what you'll get in the next generation. But thanks anyway. I'm sure people will get many different peppers in F2, maybe some even better than F1?!?
